and brought some car stuff, he's cool! 
So I figures just cuz there's 7 inches of snow and its 23 degrees out I should get in the garage and test fit the rack. I did change up from the norm cuz I'm going w a manual rack and an EPS unit from GM (that'll be later), but I didn't plan on the dimensions being different from a power unit .... that's hot rodding!
So the game plan is to modify the drivers side motor mount to clear a DD joint, not sure yet how to do this .... Scott might have some ideas. Then the C5 knuckle needs a mod to flush up the steering arm on the knuckle. And the front brace needs clearance for the rack to frame bolt, thinking cut at the front and score the back and bend it to 90 towards the front and weld. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Here's the rack installed and the trouble areas ..... may need to send it back!!!!
Thanks to my sister!
A little too tight here!
Need to clearance this for the bolt head!
Drivers side assembled
Need to flush up this pad for the steering arm to sit flush!
Overall view!
I still need to get over to Fastenal and get the metric bolts for the knuckle to steering arm and order some pinch clamps to get rid of those zipties ...
Anyway, good to get something done and make a plan to get all this working.
Thanks for looking .... hope Santa brought yous guys cool stuff too!
